What the job involves
A light fixture installation hangs a fixture on a box that is already in the ceiling or wall: a flush mount, a pendant, a chandelier, a vanity bar or an outdoor lantern. The electrician turns off the power, takes down the old fixture, connects the new one and tests it.
That differs from a ceiling fan installation, where the load is heavy and moving and the box has to be rated for it. It also differs from recessed lighting, where holes are cut for lights set into the ceiling, and from adding an outlet or a switch, which sit in a wall box.
What moves the price
- Type of fixture
- A flush mount on a standard ceiling box is a quick swap. A chandelier or a cluster of pendants takes assembly and careful hanging.
- Indoors or outdoors
- An outdoor fixture needs a weather-rated box and sealing against moisture, and on brick, stone or siding it takes more care to mount.
- Dimmer compatibility
- A new fixture on an existing dimmer can flicker or hum if they do not match. Changing the dimmer adds a part and some time.
- Marks left behind
- A new fixture smaller than the old one can leave holes or paint marks in the ceiling. Patching them may be in the quote or left to you.
- A fixture where none exists
- Putting a light where there was none means new wire, a new box and a switch, so it is a bigger job than a swap and may cost more than the range above.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each electrician before you compare prices:
- Will you install a fixture I bought, or only ones you supply?
- Are the existing box and wiring suitable, and what happens if they are not?
- Does the price cover assembling a fixture that comes in pieces, such as a chandelier?
- Will you check that my dimmer works with the new fixture?
- Do you remove the old fixture and patch around its base?
